In What's Coming Up 206, we posted:

Groundhog day approaches...

...and winter wanes. It seems a jest to some people to celebrate
February 2 but gardeners know better. The day's lengthened to the
point that indoor plants notice and resume growing. Outside, that
same increase in light entices capped buds to swell and draw
moisture, so the sap begins to rise. The willow and dogwood twigs
begin to glow.

Come prune with us in a thaw, meet us for a winter conference,
or reserve a date for hands-on learning at a Garden by Janet
& Steven. Check our website calendar and please
notice the three Secrets
workshops beginning May 2.

A man leaves for the grocery store and comes home to find his
kitchen full up of iris projects: Testing viability after a freeze,
dividing, controlling rot, investigating insects. Good stuff but
in my kitchen?!

You've heard it before, so don't delay. Unwrap the trees before
spring.

Ensemble issues, too:

library or illustrated during the last three months. Issue #206
